Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, 3020-08-0100-02 Application Field and Working Principle

Rectangular connectors, also known as headers & male pins, are most commonly used for electronic purposes, such as prototyping and faultfinding, as well as soldering and manufacturing of a variety of electrical and electronic components. Rectangular connectors are built to securely fit and match with standard hookup wires, and are also typically used in a range of commercial applications, including aviation, automotive, robotics and medical purposes.

3020-08-0100-02 is a model number of a common rectangular connector, issued by the company Molex, Inc. It is a two-position, low-profile, right-angle mount vertical header, specifically designed for 0.1” (2.54mm) pitch circuit board designs. This model of connector is produced with gold-plated contacts and a crimp terminal, and is quick and easy to assemble. It is also relatively simple to use, allowing users to effortlessly and competently integrate the connector with different circuit board designs.

The 3020-08-0100-02 connector consists of a two-part modular construction – the header and the receptacle – with two 8 AWG (21 mm2) signal contacts. These components join together by melting a primary wire to the contact, which establishes a firm electrical connection via a mechanical crimp-like action. After the initial connection is made, the second component is then connected to the other contact which completes the circuit.

The header, or male pin, is generally inserted into a printed circuit board via a solder process, while the receptacle is physically connected to the circuit board by a number of connecting pins. These pins then provide an electrical conduit between the two components. In the 3020-08-0100-02 connector model, there are two pins per contact, which are connected to the circuit board via a soldering process.

The 3020-08-0100-02 connector is designed with a locking mechanism, which consists of a latch located at the base of the header, and a clamping tab located at the base of the receptacle. This ensures that both components remain securely connected, even when the connection is subjected to strong forces or frequent vibration.

In terms of the application field, 3020-08-0100-02 is suitable for a range of different applications, such as vehicles, computers, aviation, and even robotics. This rectangular connector is designed to offer users maximum flexibility and can accommodate a variety of voltage and current requirements; it is suitable for data and power transmission in both low and high frequency circuits, and is also suitable for use in harsh environments.

The 3020-08-0100-02 connector has a current rating of up to 16 amps and a maximum temperature rating of 125C (257F). The connector is also compliant with a range of international standards, including EMC directive 2004/108/EC, UL E204460, and RoHS directive 2011/65/EU. It is also compatible with UL 94V-0 and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) materials.

Overall, the 3020-08-0100-02 is an ideal connector for a range of different applications, as it offers maximum flexibility, durability, and reliability. This high-quality rectangular connector is widely used in a variety of industries, and is known for its excellent performance and simple assembly process.
